Thanks for joining Wikipedia, Ironwolf285 edit

Hi, I'm Xiong Chiamiov, another user at Wikipedia. If you ever need some help, please drop a message on my talk page (User_talk:Xiong Chiamiov). If you're wondering how to edit a page, going to Wikipedia:How to edit a page may be useful. Below are some tips which many come in handy sometime:

  • When writing a comment or sending a message, adding ~~~~ on the end will add your signature, as well as the current time and date. Your signature can be changed by going to Special:Preferences, or by clicking "my preferences" in the top right.
  • If you want to test that you can really edit pages, you may wish to go to Wikipedia:Sandbox, and you can add whatever you want! However, please do not make edits to Wikipedia articles with the intention of ruining them, as such edits are considered to be Vandalism.

Remember, if you need help, there are loads of places you can get it:

Thanks again for coming to Wikipedia, and I look forward to seeing your contributions. And remember, Be bold in updating pages! -- Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 21:18, 16 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I believe you misread. This welcome is all that I posted for you. The image notices are from Orphanbot, as shown by its signature after the messages. However, if you have permission for your images, then you should add a license tag, or they will be deleted. You can find license tags at Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags. If you need any help finding the specific tag you need, be sure to drop me a line. I'm here to help! Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 23:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Ricec2.JPG edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Ricec2.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Ccri, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Subwayguy 04:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

  1. place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion notice(s)
  2. make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Subwayguy 04:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Reply


It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that preventive administrative action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks!

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself. If you continue to remove them, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Subwayguy 04:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

RIC Environmental Club edit

Hmm, well let's see. First, I'd like to thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always need more help writing articles.

Googling "RIC Environmental Club" [1] brings up 3 websites, two of which are Wikipedia and your MySpace. Speaking of which, having your web site be a MySpace doesn't help at all. If you need a good free webhost, I'd recommend atspace.com and their sister site awardspace.com. If you need someone to design it, I can help with that. For a fee, of course. But that's business, and not what we're talking about.

I would suggest two courses of action:

  1. If you really think that your club will grow enough that it will be known (and yes, I don't believe it is notable, and I have heard of Rhode Island :) ), then I would put it in your user space (say, User:Ironwolf285/RIC_Enviro) and edit it there. Once you are notable enough, you can take that page and put it back in Wikipedia mainspace. However, I would recommend the other option I see:
  2. Make a section in Rhode Island College (perhaps a subsection under Campus Life) specifically for your club. Leave in only 1 picture at most. If you do this, you won't lose the information (because Rhode Island College is notable), you'll increase the value of the RIC article, and you'll get more people to hear about your club, since it will be a part of the main college article.

Anyway, that's just my suggestion. If you have any questions about what I've said, just leave me a message. Have a great day! Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 23:46, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
